Walmart confirmed to ABC News that Tyler Perry wrote checks totaling approximately $430,000 between the two stores.

“Tyler Perry’s generous donation is making an unbelievable difference for so many families, and we can’t thank him enough for his kindness," read a statement from the company. "The heartfelt excitement and joy we’re seeing from our customers as a result of his holiday gift has been touching.”

In order for the shoppers to receive the items Perry paid for, they must pay one penny.

"You gotta go into the Walmart, get your layaway and pay a penny, one penny, and you get your layaway," Perry said in the video post. "I know it’s hard times. A lot of people are struggling and I’m just really, really grateful to be able to be in a position to do this."
